Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases requiring acute hospitalization and its incidence is increasing. A particular challenge is the prediction and treatment of severe cases, which only affect a minority of patients, but are associated with mortality rates of up to 30 percent. In this review, we consider the diagnostic evaluation of the disease and provide an overview of current conservative and interventional treatment strategies.
